Hi,

I have a set of K16/24 turbos to install on my 996TT.

Before install it I read a lot about the K16 Billet Turbos and conclued these are the best choise for street use but I canīt understand what diffences I will fell with the billet turbos compared to the K16/24.

who can clarify me?

Thanks
Vitor S.

 

Not all K16 billets are the same.... so you can't generalize them... Switzer probably sells the turbos with the kit only.... not sure you have to ask...we and others make our billets as well... I can tell you one logical point of you.... your turbo is only as good as the hot side.... thus no matter what billet or non billet wheel you put on the cold side it still will be limited to the hotside eventually...
with that said, the K16 billets are newer and lighter... but still within the K16 family of turbos.... and yes with a few other add ons including intercoolers, injectors, good exhaust and tune they will perform better then the standard 8 year old K16/24..
good luck

Hi Markski,

Thanks for your advise.

I have cargraphic exausth, AP Y-Pipe and Big Plenum, DV Forge, FPR 5.0 Bar, 997 GT2 RS Intercoolers and tune.

I will try to know if the Switzer billet turbos have a Kit.

I still can not get over Switzer's p700 dyno video...700 whp with 16 billets...

is this real?

I filmed it, 600whp on 93 octane, the P800 is 700...

 

It's 600 rwhp (not awhp) for P700, with cats on 93 AKI pump. It's 670 rwhp for P800, with cats on 93 AKI pump. I don't think any of their 996TT packages do 700 whp (not that they couldn't put one together - I'm sure they could).

 

oh ok, nvm

 

Hi guys,I have a 997 and 996 turbo and I am thinking to install the switzer p700 package on both,but I am worried that the chassis/body of the car might not be made for that power and could cause damages. Please advise.
Thank you
